You deserve a drink. Or 250. The Wine Riot bash in Fort Point on Friday features a DJ-spun soundtrack, more
than 250 wines and ample food pairings from the Daily Catch, Tavolo and the Savant Project. Should get your
weekend started nicely, albeit with a touch of food coma.
The Abbey Lounge reopens as Trina's Starlite Lounge in Inman Square tomorrow, replacing the teeny live-rock
venue of yesteryear with Southern comfort-food (fried chicken and waffles), a funky retro diner theme and
seating that can be best described as "plywood-y."

There are few things more sacred in this world than the union of peanut butter and marshmallow cream. Come
pay your respects on Saturday at the "What the Fluff?" festival in Somerville (the proud birthplace of
Fluffernutters), where there'll be live music, food booths and Fluff-inspired drinks—though personally
we plan to keep our distance from the Fluffuccino.

Cash booths, 4-7pm, Sept 26, Union Square Plaza, more info here
They grow up so fast. Chefs from Dante, Sage, Garden at the Cellar and Toro will help Sel De La Terre
celebrate its first birthday by way of a seven-course blowout, and your drinks will be blended by
mixologists from Eastern Standard and Craigie on Main. Think of it as a local Woodstock for food fans.

Fried Chicken Sundays at Clio
Something's in the air regarding fried chicken, because Ken Oringer has decided Clio will now open on
Sundays just to serve you the tasty poultry. Pre-fixe dishes will come with cornbread, greens and fruit
cups, but it's the fact that the style of the chicken (Southern, Korean, etc.) will change each Sunday that
has us ready with the wet-naps.
